Looking For African American Yoga Classes

By Carolyn Edwards


Yoga is a mixture of physical, spiritual and mental practices and disciplines in achieving enlightenment originating from ancient India. This is a physical exercise form popular in western countries while in Indian traditions, it is so much more than that. Studies have been done in determining the effectiveness it has as complementary intervention for diseases but with inconclusive results.

Anyone can start doing this by joining others in classes so that they would be able to learn more about the proper ways of doing it. There are African American yoga classes Chicago who people with color can comfortably attend but is also open for everyone. Here are some tips in finding one in your area you can join.

Start searching for establishments which offers these classes in your area using the internet and acquire their contact information. You may try also the local newspapers or yellow pages in searching for one as advertisements could be placed there. Make a list of all those you found and gather more information on them.

Ask for recommendations from your family and friends as they may have or still is taking classes. They will be telling you the experience they had with this activity and who was the instructor they were under at that time. If the ones recommended are not yet on the list then add them and gather more information on them too.

Research the background of the yoga instructor which includes how long they have been teaching this to others. Their longevity is an indication that they are capable in teaching students and having them regularly return for the class. This can mean that they are preferred more compared to others to properly teach the ways of yoga.

Ask them what makes their class different from other exercise ones and if they are able to explain it you properly then they know their subject well. Some of them could give amazing answers but some could be disappointing and unable to give one at all. Yoga is more than just stretching, getting strong, having fun or a social experience.

Read some online reviews and testimonials to check the thoughts of the people regarding the instructor and the class. This would also be your chance in seeing if any complaints or negative feedback against them have been written. These things are available in websites which allows users to review some things.

Ask them how they prepared to become a yoga instructor and where they educated formally or not. Great teachers could either be educated formally or not as long as they were able to give you a solid answer clearly which means they have the knowledge and skills required. If they do not have a clear answer then you better start looking for another one.

Try out first some beginner classes so you will learn different basic concepts which may not be available in other exercises. Other students are the same as you so you would feel comfortable about almost knowing nothing. Try different classes too so you would find the class as well as instructor you like that could help in achieving enlightenment.
